Nigerian player, Dickson Etuhu, says he is happy to score his first of the season for Fulham .
The Super Eagles midfielder scored a goal in Fulham’s 3 - 1 defeat of his former club, Manchester City, in their Premier League game on Sunday.
The result helped the Cottagers climb to the eighth place in the table with 43 points from 32 matches.
Etuhu, who was ignored by Eagles coach Shaibu Amodu for the 2010 World Cup qualifier against Mozambique last month, told our correspondent on the telephone on Monday that he was happy to score at the City of Manchester Stadium.
“It was great to score such a wonderful goal in front of the fans at the Eastlands. I actually started my career there; the fans know me and my younger brother, Kevin, plays for them. So it was fine to help Fulham record such an astounding result away from home,” Etuhu, who made a £1.5m switch from Sunderland in August, said.
He said he did not see the encounter as the battle of the Etuhu brothers but was rather contended with helping Fulham fight for a UEFA Cup place.
If the Cottagers can clinch seventh spot- they are a point adrift West Ham- then they are sure of a place in Europe next season.
